Mail task doesn't allow you to set arbitrary headers

           Summary: Mail task doesn't allow you to set arbitrary headers
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Mail task doesn't allow you to set arbitrary headers.  For example, a message 
sent using it does 
not set a "Date" header by default.  As a result, lacking mail clients like 
Outlook do not properly 
report the "Sent" date (it shows up as "None" in the message).  This causes the 
build maintainer to 
get many a disgruntled emails from many architects about it not showing up 
properly in his 
"Thread" view of his Inbox.

A good solution would be to add a sub element "header" with 
name/value contents.  To solve this specific problem, the user would just need 
to set the "Date" 
header with the current time when sending the message.

message.addHeader("Date", (new 
Date()).toString());  Would suffice.
